Hello, I am making a package for autojump [1], which is a Bash and Zsh extension to chdir more efficiently. My package is available at [2].
[1] http://wiki.github.com/joelthelion/autojump/ [2] http://vanvogt.ortolo.eu/~tanguy/deb/autojump/autojump_8-1.dsc My problem is that lintian gives me errors: W: autojump: description-contains-duplicated-word to to E: autojump: missing-dep-for-interpreter zsh => zsh | zsh-beta (./usr/share/autojump/autojump.zsh) The first one, description-contains-duplicated-word, is about the following package short description: Description: shell extension to jump to frequently used directories Is this phrasing really awkward, “to” being a very common word, prone to be repeated? The second one, missing-dep-for-interpreter, is about a Zsh script (autojump providing a Zsh extension, this is expected) and the following dependency set: Depends: ${misc:Depends}, python, ${python:Depends}, bash (>= 4.0) | zsh You will note that it depends on bash or zsh, because autojump is an extension for both, and is only useless if none of them is installed. Here, I think it is just a case Lintian does not handle properly? For now, I have put overrides, but I am not sure if I should instead file bugs against lintian, or correct something on my package: can you give me some advice? -- Tanguy Ortolo
